Shadowkin - for your 11th hour DR needs

Post by Nini Panini »

Do you have a bunch of DR mares you're looking to breed as the year ends? If you're a little overwhelmed and looking for a budget-friendly option, I may have the solution for you.

Shadowkin was retired late last year by me and didn't see any mares. This year, I'm hoping to fix that.

He is royally bred son of James Dean and Harmony, which makes him a half brother to Louisville Derby winner Fancy Shoes. He himself is a dual G1 winner, and I believe he would've had more was he not strongly mismanaged by yours truly towards the end of his career. He is hypoing on par with Kingdom Come, and I think he could be an excellent alternative for DR breeders. He currently stands for 5k - a steal if you ask me. He is Steward approved, and probably one of DR's best kept secrets. He won't see a significant bump in price for now, so it' the perfect time to send a mare to him!

He's handsome, too!

After taking him down briefly to ensure I could get my own mares to him, Shadowkin is back on the market for 8k and will remain so for the rest of the break. I will NOT be buying additional slots for him, so get to him while you can! There are 22 left!

Shadowkin Update

Post by Nini Panini »

Howdy all!

I'm happy to say Shadowkin has been exceptionally popular lately, seeing over 80 outside mares this year. He's still being seen regularly, and I anticipate his book will fill up before the end of the year, especially since it's only the end of week 5. Once he hits the 120 mark, I will expand his book to 150, but his stud fee will see an increase, likely to somewhere around $15k. I plan on keeping him affordable, but if you want to get to him for his current low price of $10,000, breed to him before his book fills up!

ETA: This post is regarding Shadowkin's future for Year 56.

I posted this at the end of Year 55. In Year 55, I was not going to buy new slots for him. In Year 56, I've decided I will. Not trying to scam anyone or pull anyone's leg. :D
